How to Open the Hood of an Envision?
2 Answers
First, pull the handle under the driver's compartment, then go to the front center. With one hand pulling the hood upwards and the other hand reaching into the center gap, you will find a lever inside. Pull it forcefully to the right to open the hood. To close the hood, simply press it down manually. Below is an introduction to the Envision: 1. In terms of appearance, the new wing-shaped chrome strip runs through the LED wing-shaped headlights, widening the horizontal visual effect. The dynamic bumper surface and three-dimensional silver lower guard create a full and powerful front. The rear also features a three-dimensional wing-shaped design, with the electroplated strip connected to the taillights, paired with integrated dual exhaust pipes to enhance the sporty feel. 2. For the interior, it continues Buick's consistent high-end interior quality and introduces a newly designed 10-inch HD touchscreen. The vehicle is also equipped with front multifunctional seats, rear sliding seats with adjustable backrest angles, a large central storage box with a dual-opening design, a heated steering wheel, and a two-piece oversized panoramic sunroof. 3. In terms of power, the Envision offers a 2.0T-SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent transmission and a 1.5T-SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed DCG-PLUS intelligent dual-clutch transmission. The former delivers a maximum power of 191kW/5500RPM and a peak torque of 400N·m/3000-4000RPM, while the latter provides a maximum power of 124kW/5600RPM and a peak torque of 250N·m/1700-4400RPM.
As a friend who often works on cars, I've helped many people with opening the hood. The operation for the Buick Envision is quite intuitive. On the driver's side, first locate the small lever near the lower part of the door or to the left of the steering wheel—this is the hood release lever. After turning off and parking the car, give it a gentle pull, and it will release the latch. Then, walk to the front of the car, reach into the gap between the hood and the front bumper at the center, where there's a hidden safety hook. A slight push or pull with your fingers will pop the hood open. Don't forget to use the support rod to secure it, preventing it from slipping and causing injury. This design is much more convenient than some older models, with obvious placement—I managed it in just half a minute the first time I tried. However, a reminder: it's easier to operate when the engine is cold in winter; in summer, wait a few minutes to avoid burns. During regular maintenance, check the cleanliness of the latch to prevent dust buildup that could cause it to jam.
